**Philips Brings Back the Vibrant Spirit of the '80s with its New Audio Gear**
For those who grew up in the '80s, there's something nostalgic about the bright, bold colors of that era. Now, electronics brand Philips is bringing back the vibrant spirit of the decade with its new Moving Sound collection, celebrating 100 years of making audio gear.
As a tech enthusiast who's been around since the early days, I'm excited to share with you Philips' latest offerings. The Moving Sound collection includes two wireless speakers, the Tube and the Roller, which are both inspired by the iconic '80s design. Both speakers feature Bluetooth 5.5 with Auracast support, an IP67 rating for durability, and up to 24 hours of battery life. What's more, they come with neon-colored buttons and multicolored LED lighting that will transport you back to the neon-lit streets of Lagos or Abuja.
The Tube is the more powerful of the two, with 140W of power coming from two 5-inch woofers, two 1.5-inch tweeters, and a pair of passive radiators. This makes it perfect for larger gatherings or parties. On the other hand, the Roller is smaller, lighter, and more portable, with 60W of power coming from two woofers, two tweeters, and two passive radiators.
In addition to the speakers, Philips has also released two pairs of wireless headphones as part of the Moving Sound collection. The Ringo Duo is a pair of on-ear headphones reminiscent of the classic headphones bundled with Sony's Walkmans, while the Buds are a retro-inspired pair of wireless earbuds.
With the Moving Sound collection, Philips is not only paying homage to the '80s but also giving us a taste of what's to come in the world of audio technology. Whether you're a music lover or just someone who appreciates the aesthetics of the past, these new audio gear from Philips are definitely worth checking out.
